My Love Will Always Stay

When I got home last Tuesday, I saw a piece of paper posted on the side of our cabinet. It was a poem written by Rodel for me for our 16th month anniversary.

My Love Will Always Stay

Think about the dreams we’ve shared
Believe they’ll all come true
Think about the happy faces
Immortalized in frames
Think about the gifts we gave
Our thought will never fade.
Think about the gifts you have
Treasure these the most
Think about the loves that born
Amidst all stripe and pain
It may be better or maybe worst
Live your life with faith in God
For love endures, our love remains
Love that bears all joys and pains
But one thing I’m pretty sure
Think about my love for you
And even if I’m gone away
My love will always stay
For you.

Secret Love

The most painful love there is
Is a love that is left unknown
A love that cannot be expressed
Affection left unknown
It's a love that hides beyond
The mask of happiness and glee
Yet all that's felt deep inside
is pain and misery.

It's a love
That tries to hide
How much it really cares
It keeps locked within your heart
The feeling glowing there
Afraid of letting it know
That the most painful thing
About this love is that
It never fades away...


About the poem.....
I wrote this poem when I was in 4th year college. I submitted this poem to Poetry.com as an entry to their contest. After a month, I received a mail from Poetry.com saying that my poem was included in their semi-final contest. This poem was also published in Philippines Star in 2001. Inspired by a friend who feel in love with someone she knew she could never be with, this poem was written for Jonalie Lorenzo, my bestfriend and classmate in college.
